It is hot here in Mississippi! We had a few days that were nicer, not so humid, and luckily those fell during the holiday weekend while my parents were visiting. Well, lucky for them, at least. My parents were prepared for our heat, though. They brought the boys a blow up pool! Ha! It […]

I’ve said it time and again, how much we love our Keurig® machine. We’re going on having the same machine for THREE years now. Kinda crazy. During these three years, we’ve tested many types of K-Cup® Packs and the Starbucks® blends are always my favorite. Although I love a blonde roast, another favorite of ours […]

These beef burritos are smothered with red chili sauce and melted cheese, so best eaten with a fork and knife. Top with your favorites such as guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes and veggies for a rounded out dish. Your belly will be happy and full! Growing up in Michigan, I’ve always known of the “Mexican” […]

Creamy dreamy homemade OREO Cheesecake ice cream that takes just a few minutes to prepare and uses only FOUR ingredients! It’s true! This homemade frozen dessert is made WITHOUT an ice cream machine! Have a hand mixer? You can whip this up within minutes, then it’s ready to eat after freezing for about 4 hours. […]

Happy 4th of July weekend! This is already a very busy summer! We spent two weeks in North Carolina visiting friends and family and I feel like I’m still recovering from that trip back in JUNE! I’m going to post more on that later and share with you some fun places we discovered. For now, […]

If you like root beer floats, step it up a notch by adding a brownie base and drizzling caramel sauce over top your ice cream before pouring in the fizzy soda. You now have single serving desserts perfect for this weekend’s holiday cook-out parties! My parents are visiting this weekend for the 4th of July […]

I love it when I come across something that excites me this much. I can’t express enough how enthusiastic I am about Kidstir cooking kits. This last month, Judah and I had a blast together in the kitchen where he learned cooking skills through his personal cookbook from Kidstir. Kidstir is a start-up company, run […]

This banana cake is baked with chocolate sandwich cookies then inverted onto a serving platter and topped with a thick salted caramel sauce. I used my favorite banana bread recipe with a few minor tweaks to scale it down and make it more cake-like. I am so excited about this recipe because it is SO […]

Today I’m getting a little personal with you. In the last few months, and as I get older, I sometimes have these scary thoughts about a future without Ben if he were to unexpectedly die. Besides the fact that I would miss him like crazy, I also think, “If he died, how in the world […]

This healthy snack includes blankets of blueberry yogurt, sliced bananas and crispy cereal. Serve in a clear jar and your kids will have fun watching their spoons dig through the layers. Adults will love this recipe, too! Sometimes we can get in a rut of serving our kids the same snacks every day, which results […]

These energy balls are full of your favorite ingredients, that you think you’re eating a delicious cookie minus the bad stuff. Peanut butter, honey and oats are combined with power foods such as cranberries, almonds and flax seed to give you a tasty snack with a quick boost during your busy day. Let me tell […]

The food truck phenomenon has not yet gone away. In fact, it is still making it’s way into Mississippi. We only have a couple, and I’m hoping for more eventually. But, I am completely satisfied with our few options so far, especially this one serving up hamburgers, Lurny D’s Grille. First thing is first. I’m […]

These grilled chicken skewers, folded into tortillas and topped with spiced mayo and avocado salsa, are an interesting option for spicing up the grilling season. We like to grill the tortillas, too, so they have a tiny bit of crisp to them. Grill them for only seconds, though, so they are still pliable enough to […]

Summer is right around the corner and I think the entire country is finally warmed up from a very long winter. Mississippi is definitely hot already, but not yet unbearable. I know it’s coming, though – the heat that keeps you indoors all summer or at the pool every day. Our neighborhood pool recently closed […]

Gooey M&M cookie bars with marshmallows roasted right in. The other day, Judah wanted to bake cookies. I told him to pick out what he wanted included in the cookies. He opened the door to our kitchen cabinet that holds my baking ingredients and grabbed marshmallows and mini M&M’s. “I want these, Mom!” The M&M’s […]

Chopped grilled chicken and slightly charred hearts of romaine served halved with a creamy homemade ranch dressing. In Mississippi, you can grill year round. Have we done that? No. But, we did bust it out earlier than other folks in the country and have been grilling for weeks now. Way before Memorial Day weekend. 😉 […]

Last weekend I spent my days working, learning and eating my way through Miami, Florida for the BlogHer Food 2014 Conference. (You may have noticed on Instagram.) Although I didn’t venture out to as many food places as I wanted, and never stepped foot on the beach, I did have a great time and feel […]

Happy Memorial Day weekend! What’s going on in your neck of the woods? We’re just trying to stay cool with some fun sprinkler action. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you saw that I was in Miami last weekend for a blogging conference. It was fun, but I sure do wish I […]

Grilled corn on the cob smothered with a creamy spread and then sprinkled with Mexican spiced cheese topping. It’s Memorial Day weekend and I’m in denial. Does it seem like it came quickly this year? Down here, kids are now out of school for the summer. I never remember being out of school before Memorial […]

Through my years of blogging and cooking, I’ve learned that we all really like quick meals. We are always searching for something fast and easy, and during our very hectic lives – that are getting even busier – it is a bonus to have a fast meal ready. One of the ways I like to […]

Fresh tomato and avocado salsa mixed with chopped romaine leaves, with a spiced lime juice dressing. Perfect for a light lunch or to start off a summer meal. Can I tell you how excited I am about my progress with losing my baby weight? Remember I told you that I started keeping track of my […]
